Hi all,
maybe it is a stupid question... However when I see the logcat tab on the eclipse ddms perspective, when the logs are very verbose, happens that the logcat displays only one line each time. It refreshes the line but displays only one (So I can't read what happens in the line before because it disappears to show the next one).
It seems that there is a limit in the number of lines that logcat window can contain and after that number the logcat switch to a single line mode...

Bye,
Esses.

Hi. It is not stupid question
You need to configure your logcat for showing unlimited number of lines:
I did it after configuring console. I really don't know why console configuration change logcat configuration.
Go in Eclipse to Window->Preferences->Run/Debug->Console-> uncheck Limit Console output.

In my case your idea seems not to be functional. Is their anyone with a other idea? Because i need a longtime debug, my application going down after 5 or more hours. I don´t no really why, without a log i will have no chance to debug.

thanks and regard. quelle

I also use logcat in console. Just type in console
adb logcat

Thanks. Does Eclipse not automatically start adb?? In Eclipse i don´t see a way to enter a new console command. Now the Logcat commands are 9000 lines big, maybe it works correctly. I don`t know.
If i start console with the adb command from outside eclipse, i don`t know how configure the console too save "endless" lines.

Is their any way too save the console commands realtime in a external file?

Regards florian.

okay, now it works. i just typed adb logcat > log.txt in a extern console. To watching live i use eclipse, and in the txtfile i have the longtime logs.


Thanks and regards.

I mean run this command outside of Eclipse.
Yes, you can save output to the external file from your OS's system console.
For example I use linux and in terminal I wrote

adb logcat > /home/sheff/logcat_our.txt

For Windows OS visit their help

Note:
If you would like to see your full logcat output in system console you need to configure it, because console by default shows limited amount of lines

How does one get timestamps on the log entries using this method?

This UNIX command sequence works for new log entries in real-time (old log entries are stamped with the same time stamps until the tail end of the logcat file is reached):

Code: Select all

adb logcat | sed -u -e 's/.*/echo `date +%F" "%T` ": &"/' | sh


This is what the timestamped output looks like when the filter is applied:

Code: Select all

2010-05-11 15:53:58 : D/dalvikvm( 4925): GC freed 46684 objects / 2097416 bytes in 74ms


The command only looks complicated because I wanted a specific date format.
